POM (Homo, Co-polymer)
Overview
Polyoxymethylene, also known as acetal, can be divided into homo-polymers and co-polymers. Both types are crystallize. POM is a hard material that is resistant to fatigue and crips and has low friction coefficient and attractive look. The homo-polymers are highly strong in terms of tension and curvature and resistant to fatigue with a high degree of hardness. The co-polymers which are thermally stable are highly workable and resistant to heat. They are also very alkaline and stretchable.
Characteristic
- Highly mechanic and strong in terms of heat and electricity
- Highly fatigue-resistant and creep-resistant
- Yields little friction highly wear-resistant and magnetic-lubricating
- Highly resistant to various chemicals (highly alkaline-resistant) heat and water
- Easily processed using machine and yields products of even sizes
- Recommended for areas requiring a high degree of hygiene and sanitation such as food.
Applications
- Various precision machine parts gears rollers brackets and liners
- Insulated products such as electric and electronic semiconductors
- Wear plates of various slider
- Impeller, Screws, Wheels
- Food-processing machine parts
